Before political correctness, it was a bachelor's paradise! Bachelor's Paradise is a radio play (AKA podcast) about the misadventures of college freshman Robert Turner and his inappropriate best friend, Cornelius Crane, XVI. It's the 1950s. The Cold War rages on. Like Henry David Thoreau, Robert is living in a cabin in the woods in the middle of a harsh New England winter. His sex-crazed pal Cornelius is responsible for his situation. Will these spritely young lads possess the skills required...

Drs. Kranz and Hilliard take a trip down memory lane to their frat days, and then quickly leave the room for somewhat inexplicable reasons. The legalities surrounding Henry David Thoreau and his connection to HDTV are discussed thoreaully, all while Dr. Harwood balances atop Charlie Kranz's grandfather. It has to be heard to be believed!

CRUEL AND TAXING APRIL(S). April perturbs and taxes the mind of Emily Dickinson and T.S. Eliot, while Thoreau doesn’t worry about how to do justice to this season; he proclaims morning as the season of the day, the time of vigorous and momentous thought. We hear some of Eleanor Farjeon’s hymn “Morning Has Broken” and Thoreau gets us going with his paean to morning. Memorable events require a morning atmosphere, to be awake is to be alive, and we must learn to reawaken and keep...

In which we consider the relationship between gardening and poetry from earliest times, as poets wipe soil from their hands to pen their thoughts on the inextricable connections between the act of creating and co-creating Truth and Beauty out of earthly experience, between what is sown and grown and pruned and tended, between mortal and immortal beauty.

Henry Thoreau’s “Walden” is full of animal sounds: lowing cows, baying dogs, trumping frogs, and hooting owls. Leading literary scholar and Yale University professor Wai Chee Dimock searches the great text of American Transcendentalism for these sonic traces. Her talk places Thoreau’s animal sounds in a long cultural history reaching back to Aesop’s fables and forward to such works as Maya Lin’s “What is Missing,” a multimedia installation that uses the aesthetics of animal...
